  1. An Introduction to Information Systems Chapter 1 MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  2. Principles and Learning Objectives • The value of information is directly linked to how it helps decision makers achieve the organization’s goals. • Distinguish data from information and describe the characteristics used to evaluate the quality of data. MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  3. Principles and Learning Objectives • Models, computers, and information systems are constantly making it possible for organizations to improve the way they conduct business. • Name the components of an information system and describe several system characteristics. • Identify four basic types of models and explain how they are used. MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  4. Principles and Learning Objectives • Knowing the potential impact of information systems and having the ability to put this knowledge to work can result in a successful personal career, organizations that reach their goals, and a society with a higher quality of life. • Identify the basic types of business information systems and discuss who uses them, how they are used, and what kinds of benefits they deliver. MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  5. Principles and Learning Objectives • System users, business managers, and information systems professionals must work together to build a successful information system. • Identify the major steps of the systems development process and state the goal of each. • Discuss why it is important to study and understand information systems. MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  6. Information Concepts MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  7. Information System A set of interrelated components that collect, manipulate, and disseminate data and information, and provide feedback to meet an objective • Examples: ATMs, airline reservation systems, course reservation systems MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  8. Data vs. Information • Data: raw facts • Information: collection of facts organized in such a way that they have value beyond the facts themselves MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  9. Types of Data MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  10. Data vs. Information MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  14. System and Modeling Concepts MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  15. System A set of elements or components that interact to accomplish goals • Input • Processing mechanism • Feedback • Output • System boundary MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  16. Components of a System MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  17. System and Modeling Concepts MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  18. System Performance and Standards • Efficiency: output/input • Effectiveness: extent to which system attains its goals • Performance standard: specific objective of a system MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  19. System Variables and Parameters • System variable - item controlled by decision-maker • System parameter - value that cannot be controlled MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  20. Systems Classification MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  21. System Performance and Standards MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  22. Modeling a System MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan

  23. Modeling a System • A model is an abstraction that is used to represent reality • 4 major types of models • A narrative model is based on words • Logical, not physical • A physical model is tangible • A schematic model is a graphic representation • Graphs and charts • A mathematical model is an arithmetic representation MSIS 110: Introduction to Computers; Instructor: S. Mathiyalakan
